His view of the demo policies is exactly where the left get their elitism and disdain for middle America. They just can't grip the fact that their socialist programs do exactly the opposite of helping the "less prosperous"

If they only had the brains to vote in their interests, Democrats think, the party would never be out of power.

McCain is going directly after this idea. The Dems can't imagine that anyone would ever vote for something greater than their own self-interest.

Sorta related - I was trolling in the DUmp and saw they’ve started an anti-Palin thread called “Post pictures of ‘Real Women’”. Entries thus far:

Elanor Roosevelt, Rosylnn Carter, and Barbara Jordan.

Even DUmmies must not have pics of Cynthia McKinney or Gloria Steinem ;-)

The Left DOES care about the downtrodden masses ... but mostly in a theoretical, clinically detached academic way. They represent useful test subjects upon whom can be practiced all sorts of interesting social theories and experiments.

Democrats speak up for the less prosperous; they have well-intentioned policies to help them; they are disturbed by inequality, and want to do something about it. Their concern is real and admirable. The trouble is, they lack respect for the objects of their solicitude. Their sympathy comes mixed with disdain, and even contempt.

This tells me that they are in it only for themselves, their concern is mostly to be seen as good, compassionate people. That's why they don't even care about the results of their policies.

That's narcissism.
